I have a love/hate relationship with Montana winters. Being outside on the slopes or just sledding with friends on Peets Hill is pure happiness and a huge reason we live here. However, there's A LOT of indoor time too. Filling those hours can be a challenge so I plan ahead in the Fall.

The ComicsAlliance staff is a diverse lineup writers, editors, artists, photographers and designers, but before we’re any of those things we’re simply fans. Appreciators. Collectors. Almost every day we share with each other via Instagram all the great books, toys, artwork, apparel, and other beautiful and/or inescapably cool objects we collect almost ceaselessly in comics stores, at conventions, and from all kinds of sources all over North America (and sometimes beyond). Displaying (i.e. showing off) some rad swag typically inspires everyone to one-up their pop-archeologist game in the never ending quest to find awesome stuff, and simply posting the week’s new comics usually causes someone to discover a new title or artist, which in turn inspires a whole new line of excavation.

In the past we’ve published photos of our “con hauls” here on CA and the resulting discussion with readers — i.e. collector kudos — has always been fun, so with the ComicsAlliance Collection we’re going to do it every week. But more importantly, we want to see your collection too. Show us new additions to your collections by using the hashtag #CAcollection on Instagram and we’ll embed the best stuff alongside our own recent acquisitions. And please do follow us @ComicsAlliance.

The Livingston Depot Center's Festival of the Arts will be held in the Depot Rotary Park in downtown Livingston from Wednesday, July 2 through Friday, July 4. This juried show features artisans in all media of arts and crafts, food and family fun.
